A lightweight, easy-to-use Python package for generating unique identicons - graphical representations of hashed user information. It's perfect for adding a touch of personalization to user profiles in web applications, forums, or any platform requiring distinct visual user identification.
identicons is a Python package that generates unique 5x5 identicons based on MD5 hashes of input strings. These identicons are symmetrical images commonly used for representing user avatars in applications.
pip install identicons
If you're downloading from a source, navigate to the root directory where setup.py is located and run:
git clone https://github.com/LVivona/identicons.git
python setup.py install
To generate an identicons, you can use the generate function:
from identicons import generate
# Generate an identicons with default colors
icon = generate('hello world')
# Generate an identicons with custom primary and secondary colors
icon_custom = generate('hello world', primary=0xFFD700, secondary=0x8B0000)
identicons --text "hello world" --file "output.png" -s 0xa0e7e5 -p 0xffffff
The generate function returns a NumPy array representing the identicons image. You can save this image using the save function:
from identicons import save
# Save the generated identicons that is 500x500
save(icon, 'identicons.png', 500, 500)
